Co-Curricular Events

The Hoeft Technology & Management Program is built on the idea that leadership and innovation are best developed through real-world engagement. Our co-curricular events connect students with industry leaders, global perspectives, and hands-on learning experiences that complement the program’s rigorous academic curriculum.

Networking

From informal meet-ups to formal receptions, students have frequent opportunities to connect with peers, alumni, faculty, and executives. These interactions build relationships that often lead to mentorship, internships, and career opportunities.

International Immersion

Each year, juniors can join an international immersion trip to explore how business and technology operate in global contexts. Students visit corporate partner sites abroad, engage with executives, and experience the culture, history, and economy of the host country.

Corporate Partners

Corporate affiliates are deeply engaged in T&M student life, offering project sponsorships, hosting site visits, and participating in events that give students firsthand insight into their industries.

Expert Panels

Panels featuring alumni and industry leaders offer students an unfiltered look at trends, challenges, and opportunities in today’s fast-changing markets.

Lunch and Learns

Small-group sessions with executives and faculty provide space for candid discussions about leadership, innovation, and career paths—often over a casual meal.

Hallene Lecture Series

The Hallene Lecture Series brings leading executives from corporate affiliate companies to campus to present on topics at the intersection of technology and business. Each company offers its own perspective and expertise, giving students and the public valuable insight into how innovation happens in different industries.
